Given the numerical expression:

50a^3-18ab^2
 

It can be factored by checking for the common terms, it can be seen that both numbers have the variable a, so that's one factor. Next is to check if the numerical coefficient has a common factor. 50 and 18 are both divisible by 2. Next we combine the common variable and the common factor of the two numbers, a multiplied by 2 will give an answer of 

= 2a

The final expression will be: 2a(25a^2 -9b^2)
